I have been trying for quite some time to get my static files onto Amazon
S3, and I just keep running into show-stopping issues. And I think that my
problems with S3 have revealed a flaw in my basic Mezzanine configuration.
Once I activate the S3 setup for static files, I get an error like this:
UncompressableFileError: 'css/animate.css' could not be found in the
COMPRESS_ROOT '/home/rosslaird/static' or with staticfiles.
The folder 'rosslaird/static' does not exist and should not be part of my
Mezzanine configuration. On the other hand, my site runs just fine (until I
add the S3 configuration). I expect that 'static' is being appended at
runtime, and that '/home/rosslaird' is the offending part. It does appear
in my wsgi file:
from __future__ import unicode_literals
# Virtual environment on Python path
import site
site.addsitedir('/home/rosslaird/.virtualenvs/mezzanine3/lib/python2.6/site-packages')
import os, sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/home/rosslaird/m3/zeni_core')
sys.path.insert(1, '/home/rosslaird/m3')
sys.path.append('/home/rosslaird')
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'm3.settings'
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()
The offending folder also appears in my apache configuration, but I think
that the actual problem may be in the wsgi settings above. Or, at least I
should find out if the above is broken first, before looking at Apache as
the culprit.
Whatever the cause, this issue also results (with the S3 settings
activated) in django-compressor looking for files in one folder above the
place where the files actually are. For example, I've received various
error messages in which django-compressor looks for 'css/whatever.css'
rather than 'static/css/whatever.css'. But every way that I've tried to
change the paths for djangoo-compressor to search the proper path seems not
to work. And my S3 paths and settings seem correct:
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = 'my_key'
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = 'my_other_key'
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = 'ral_mezzanine'
AWS_QUERYSTRING_AUTH = False
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto.S3BotoStorage'
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto.S3BotoStorage'
STATIC_FILES_BUCKET = 'ral_mezzanine'
S3_URL = 'https://%s.s3.amazonaws.com/' % AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
STATIC_ROOT = 'static'
COMPRESS_URL = S3_URL
STATIC_URL = COMPRESS_URL
MEDIA_URL = STATIC_URL + 'media/'
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = STATIC_URL + 'admin/'
COMPRESS_ENABLED = True
COMPRESS_ROOT = STATIC_ROOT
COMPRESS_STORAGE = STATICFILES_STORAGE
COMPRESS_OFFLINE = False
The above settings are in a separate file that is only imported when I
activate S3 (from a line in local_settings.py). So, normally, all of the
above settings that are also part of the default Mezzanine setup are set to
defaults in local_settings.py or settings.py.
I can access S3 just fine, from the django-shell, so it's not an access
problem. At this point, I've narrowed it down to what I think is the actual
issue: that folder reference.
Can anybody help me sort this out?
Thanks in advance.
